Fiji

Fiji's healthcare work is anchored by the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children's Hospital and a network of medical centres and outreach programmes, all provided free of charge.

• Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children's Hospital: Opened in 2022, this is the first paediatric cardiac specialty hospital in the Pacific and Oceania. Through the Gift of Life programme, children from Fiji and neighbouring Pacific Island Nations receive free, life-saving heart surgery. The hospital was built at significant cost and represents a major investment in free paediatric cardiac care for the region.
• Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Medical Centre, Suva: Opened in 2018 in collaboration with the Fiji Ministry of Health, the centre offers free general and specialist care with a particular focus on women's health, child health and diabetes. Services include general medical consultations, dietetics, nursing and triage, as well as free medications.
• Heart Beat Programme: A nationwide child heart screening initiative that has screened thousands of children across rural Fiji and Pacific Island Nations for congenital heart disease, entirely free of charge. The Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children's Heart Screening Centre in Suva houses advanced 4D echocardiogram technology and provides all screenings free of charge.
• Health on Wheels: The Foundation's inaugural project, Health on Wheels brings free, high-quality healthcare directly to rural communities through regular outreach medical camps. Teams of medical professionals, Foundation members and volunteers travel to remote parts of Fiji, providing services such as general consultations, specialist care, dental treatment, diabetes screening, eye care, women's health services, health education and free medications.
• Be A Hero: A successful blood collection project across the towns and cities of Fiji, run in conjunction with the Fiji National Blood Service, Fiji Ministry of Health and the Fiji Red Cross. The initiative aims to ensure that crucial surgeries are not postponed due to lack of blood available at blood banks around the country. The Foundation has been among the highest blood collectors in Fiji for multiple years.
• Control D: Provides diabetes treatment with support from a visiting endocrinologist from the UK.
• You Are Not Alone: A mental health awareness programme offering free consultations with a specialist psychiatrist.

Through the Sai Annapoorna initiative, Sai Prema Foundation Fiji has implemented a national food programme that feeds underprivileged and needy people across the islands, including institutions such as orphanages, schools for disabled children, blind schools and retirement homes. Grocery and food packs are distributed to underprivileged families, with a specific focus on families with disabled individuals, single mothers, families with many children and families without a source of income.

Education efforts focus on building local capacity in paediatric cardiology and related fields:

• Medical Scholarship Programme: In association with Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospitals India, scholarships are provided to train Fiji-based doctors in India across all aspects of paediatric cardiology, including paediatric cardiothoracic surgery, perfusion and paediatric nursing. The scholarship is offered to Fiji Ministry of Health personnel at no cost to the Government, with all training, accommodation, meals and air fares covered for the entire duration.
• The aim is to build capacity in Fiji by training a complete specialist team capable of running the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children's Hospital in Fiji independently in the future.

Through the Value Educate the World programme, values education books for students and handbooks for teachers are translated. Training and leadership workshops for teachers are conducted regularly, along with weekly Human Development workshops and Values Education classes.
